cavid.info/12-hours-inside/
The article is a personal account by Azerbaijani journalist Cavid Ağa, detailing his detention and 12-hour interrogation by Azerbaijan’s State Security Service (SSS) on August 27, 2024.

Detention: Ağa was stopped at the border while on his way to Lithuania for his studies. He was informed of a travel ban and immediately taken to the SSS headquarters.
Reason: The stated reason for his detention was his association with Bahruz Samadov, an academic who had been sentenced to 15 years on treason charges.
Interrogation: The 12-hour interrogation was a mix of psychological tactics and formal questioning. Interrogators questioned him about his political views, his work, and his relationship with Samadov. They also asked personal questions about Samadov, which Ağa believed were intended to find ways to humiliate him publicly.
Falsified Testimony: Ağa states that his official testimony was later falsified by the authorities to include incriminating statements he never made against Samadov, particularly regarding the Khojaly genocide.
Subsequent Harassment: After his release, Ağa describes a period of sustained harassment from an SSS officer who attempted to recruit him as an informant and monitored his online activities. He also details a defamatory video released by a state-funded channel.
Leaving Azerbaijan: His travel ban was eventually lifted in January 2025, and he left the country. He wrote the article from Warsaw, asserting his belief in Bahruz Samadov’s innocence.

Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zourabichvili, declared that the ruling Georgian Dream government “has already lost” and called on citizens to persevere through the final stretch of their resistance. Speaking on Rustaveli Avenue on the 333rd consecutive day of protests — marking one year since the disputed 2024 parliamentary elections — Zurabishvili addressed the crowd with a message of endurance and defiance.

“This regime has already lost. It no longer has any legitimacy to continue — its days are numbered. We are obliged to endure just a little longer,” Zurabishvili said. “I want to tell the parents of political prisoners — I understand that when I say ‘we must hold on a little longer,’ these are not easy words. They are not easy words for the activists who stand here every day and carry the weight of keeping this movement alive. But I know that nothing is ever easy when the goal is to save this country — not to surrender it to Russia or to those dressed in Georgian clothes who serve it,” she said.
